Some dogs wait weeks. Some wait months. Some wait long enough that people stop noticing them. We sponsor their adoption fees — using proceeds from our art and merchandise — so that when the right person finally comes along, cost isn't the thing standing in the way.

Training that
Keeps Families
Together

Sometimes, a little training can make the difference between a dog staying with their family or losing their home. Through the Training Assistance Grant (TAG) program, My Barking Life helps make professional training more accessible thanks to the generosity of sponsors who believe every dog deserves the chance to succeed.
